Achieve Subtle Lift and Improved Symmetry
A crescent breast lift, also known as a crescent boob lift, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to provide a subtle lift to the breasts. This technique is particularly effective for women with mild sagging who desire improved breast symmetry without the need for extensive surgery. Dr. Amir Ghaznavi at AMG Plastic Surgery in Reston, Northern Virginia, is skilled in performing crescent breast lifts, helping patients achieve a more youthful and balanced breast appearance.
What is a Crescent Breast Lift?
A crescent breast lift involves removing a small crescent-shaped piece of skin from the top of the areola. This technique lifts the nipple and areola slightly, providing a more youthful breast contour. The procedure is ideal for women with mild sagging or those looking to correct slight asymmetry in their breasts.

I had an arm lift and a breast lift after weight loss, and I’m very pleased with the results. I’ve felt completely supported and well cared for this entire journey, and would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone seeking a good plastic surgeon.
